The grey nurse shark

Mia’s finally lost both of her top deciduous canines. It had me concern for a while as she looked like a grey nurse shark with all them teeth! If they don’t fall out on their own, they need to be excised by a vet as they can cause over-crowding, cavities and deformation of the jaw. Very relieved they fell out on their own! Here’s a pic I took of Mia a few weeks back. You can clearly see one adult canine poking through in front of the baby tooth.
